Hey, this is David with the report for Thursday afternoon at 12:10pm.
2-4 ft. - knee to shoulder high and poor-fair conditions.
PM REGIIONAL OVERVIEW: Onshore flow continues to hack things up and put a pretty decent chop to the surface this afternoon. Southern hemi energy is fading but still offering rideable waves in the knee-waist high range with very inconsistent belly-chest high sets for the standout spots. Shape is real weak, sectiony and broken up with a deep 5' high tide at 2pm.
This Morning's Dawn Patrol: Inconsistent southern hemi sets getting up to around shoulder high. Mostly close-outs.
Sunny skies with W/NW winds 8-12kts+
Conditions not looking so hot for the dawn patrol with a fairly stiff onshore breeze hacking things up. Modest mix of fading SSW groundswell and NW windswell holding mainly waist high waves with occasional chest high sets for the better spots but oveall shape is ugly. Tide hits a 1.9' low at 7:20am. Watch for a possible drop in water temps from yesterday's onshore winds, might not be a bad idea to pack a wettie if you are going for a surf.
FRIDAY: Old SSW swell fades further as a touch of new SSW swell very slowly builds. Small NW windswell is also in the mix. The better breaks see mainly knee-waist high sets, while standouts are still a little better at times.
Wind: Light/variable early, with W wind to 9-13kts for the afternoon.

"The Weenabago Projekt" began as a concept in the mid-2000’s as a road trip in a '70's motorhome that hit the road from Huntington Beach to Vancouver back again and now the second installment of the concept is complete. The film will premiere in HB August 6th at the Regency theatres at Warner and Beach with a portion of the proceeds to go to the building of a new HB skatepark as the Main Street high school park is about to go under the jackhammer. Check the trailer out at crossingamerica2.com.

The film follows four young surfers to Liberia in search of more than perfect waves. Risking everything to explore the West African country devastated by decades of war, they record the stories of people they meet—people like Alfred, who became Liberia's first surfer after finding a bodyboard while fleeing from rebels. See you there!
